The Elusive White Tiger of Inwood
Look very closely... you'll see his face...
If you look closely at this picture you will find it.
And once you do, you will see it had you in its sights long before you could say the same.
A few days ago while walking to work on a bright sunny morning, I was startled to see a flock of pigeons take flight from the overgrown lot. Then out of nowhere, a small white tiger launched into the air in a primal attempt to snatch one from the air. A Wild Kingdom moment for the urban safari. . . on the sidewalks of Broadway, instead of the waterholes of the Serengeti.
On the following day, I then saw him taking his position in the sheltering grass. Achieving such camouflage for a pure white predator was impressive enough for me to snap this picture and wish him well on his quest.
